This necklace is made with a traditional technique of Tsumami-Kanzashi, traditional Japanese folded flowers, made from small square fabric, that are worn by women as hair ornaments in traditional hairstyles. By the idea of phoenix that is a symbol of perpetuity, this necklace is expressed the Swarovski crystal's everlasting sparkle and the traditional technique handed down to the present day.
